A multi-acid overnight treatment combining Glycolic Acid at a brand-confirmed 4%, Lactic Acid at a brand-confirmed 3%, Gluconodelta Lactone (PHA), and Mandelic Acid - a total AHA/PHA load where glycolic and lactic are confirmed at 7% combined. The formula includes Sodium Phytate, a plant-derived biodegradable chelating agent (unusual and positive for sustainability). D-Panthenol and Tocopherol provide barrier and antioxidant support to offset acid-associated dryness. Polysorbate 20 and Polyisobutene help disperse and emulsify the oil-phase components. PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a non-ionic emulsifier. Contains Allergen Free Fragrance. An accessible entry into overnight acid treatments - concentrations are mild enough for most non-sensitive adults, unlike professional peeling solutions.

Glycolic and Lactic Acid used overnight are significantly more effective in India's dry-to-moderate humidity winter months when the skin barrier is stronger. During monsoon season, the skin barrier is often already compromised by humidity fluctuation - reduce frequency to once weekly in such conditions. Post-acid SPF is not optional in India; UVA exposure without protection reverses brightening progress and increases PIH risk, particularly for Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin.
Independent and free. The Clean Sheet takes no money from brands to review, rank, or approve a product. This is a web evidence review, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of review.
Both concentrations brand-confirmed - above-average transparency for a multi-acid formula.
AHA mechanism for brightening is established but no formula-specific published study.
Contains Allergen Free Fragrance - a synthetic fragrance blend.
How we read this product across 5 areas. Open any row for the full rationale.
Glycolic Acid at 4% and Lactic Acid at 3% in a leave-on overnight treatment are at the lower-moderate OTC acid range - appropriate for most non-sensitive adults 2-3x per week. Gluconodelta Lactone (PHA) is the gentlest exfoliant class. Mandelic Acid is a larger-molecule AHA with lower deep penetration than glycolic. Post-application photosensitivity is real - morning SPF is essential. Allergen Free Fragrance is present in an overnight treatment. PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate is a well-tolerated emulsifier. Sodium Phytate (biodegradable chelator) is a positive sustainability choice over EDTA.
The four-acid blend is intelligently designed: Glycolic (smallest AHA, deepest penetration) at 4% addresses pigmentation and texture; Lactic at 3% exfoliates more gently with...
The four-acid blend is intelligently designed: Glycolic (smallest AHA, deepest penetration) at 4% addresses pigmentation and texture; Lactic at 3% exfoliates more gently with NMF-like hydration; Mandelic Acid adds superficial surface exfoliation; and Gluconodelta Lactone (PHA) contributes the gentlest layer while acting as an antioxidant. Combined, they create cumulative efficacy without a professional-peel acid load. D-Panthenol and Tocopherol offset acid-associated dryness. Sodium Phytate replaces EDTA.
Good evidence for stated claims based on public information.
Glycolic at 4% and Lactic at 3% are brand-confirmed - above-average for a multi-acid formula. Mandelic Acid and Gluconodelta Lactone concentrations are not individually disclosed. Formula pH is not published - material information for any acid product. Allergen Free Fragrance in an overnight treatment not prominently flagged. No published clinical data.
“4% Glycolic Acid + 3% Lactic Acid” Both concentrations brand-confirmed - above-average transparency for a multi-acid formula.
“Overnight glow / brightening” AHA mechanism for brightening is established but no formula-specific published study.
“Fragrance-free” Contains Allergen Free Fragrance - a synthetic fragrance blend.
No published clinical study for this formula. Two of four acid concentrations are brand-confirmed. Formula pH is not disclosed, which is a significant transparency gap for an acid leave-on product.
Glycolic 4% and Lactic 3% are clearly communicated - good partial disclosure. Mandelic Acid and PHA concentrations not stated. Formula pH not published. Allergen Free Fragrance not communicated as synthetic. The multi-acid mechanism is explained on the product page.

Public evidence the brand could provide to close verification gaps
A thoughtfully designed multi-acid overnight treatment at beginner-to-intermediate acid concentrations. The Sodium Phytate biodegradable chelator and the four-acid approach are both noteworthy positives. Formula pH disclosure is essential for any acid product and should be added.
